Indian Motorcycle has teamed up with renowned custom shop Forever Rad to create a one-of-a-kind Chieftain PowerPlus for country music star Tyler Hubbard. Featured in the latest Forged video series, this custom build brings together race-inspired aggression with road-trip-ready comfort, all wrapped in meticulous detail.
Built from the ground up over three months, the Chieftain flaunts a fully Cerakoted PowerPlus 112 engine, paired with a one-off stainless HPI 2-into-1 exhaust and S&S intake. The drivetrain also boasts a Barnett clutch and custom Santoro shift linkage, elevating both performance and style.
The reworked frame is matched with premium suspension components from Big Bear, black DLC-coated fork tubes, and Brembo brakes with Galfer pads. Riding on custom Cerakoted SMT wheels and Metzeler rubber, this bagger means business.
Design-wise, Forever Rad went all in – carbon fiber fenders, a custom-cut FTR tank, ODI bars, Kraus risers, Saddlemen’s slim signature seat, and stealth lighting from Kellerman. A standout paint job by Jason Sprengel in white, grey, blue, and gold – with widespread Cerakote accents – adds to the high-end vibe.
Every inch of this custom Indian screams purpose and personality. Hubbard, a long-time motorcycle enthusiast, stayed closely involved with the build, trusting Forever Rad’s Kyle Bertsch to bring his dream ride to life. And they delivered – big time!
